NBC News reported that \u201cPeppa Pig\u201d has been translated into 40 languages and is broadcast in 180 countries. \u201cPeppa\u201d has a devoted fan base in the United States.<\/p>\n<p>The series focuses on the 4-year-old pig, Peppa, and her life with Mummy Pig, Daddy Pig, and her younger brother George. The publication notes that some critics take issue with how the cartoon glorifies a traditional nuclear family.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>This led to the creation of a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thepetitionsite.com\/takeaction\/520\/622\/303\/\">petition<\/a> in 2019 that demanded series creators add a same-sex couple. Over the years, the petition has garnered more than 23,000 signatures.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDespite there being six series and over 250 episodes produced so far, none of the families feature same-sex parents,\u201d the petition says.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cChildren watching Peppa Pig are at an impressionable age, and excluding same-sex families will teach them that only families with either a single parent or two parents of different sexes are normal,\u201d it continues. \u201cThis means that children of same-sex parents may feel alienated by Peppa Pig, and that other children may be more likely to bully them, simply through ignorance.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The news comes months after video of an all-hands meeting at Disney headquarters <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/not-at-all-secret-gay-agenda-disney-employees-break-down-adding-queerness-to-shows-and-degenderizing-theme-parks\">went viral<\/a>, with one executive producer explaining how she could easily implement her \u201cnot-at-all secret gay agenda\u201d in one show. <em>Disclosure: The Daily Wire has announced plans for childrens\u2019 entertainment content.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Also, the \u201cToy Story\u201d spinoff \u201cLightyear\u201d got backlash from parents as it featured a same-sex kiss which was initially cut from the final version but got added back in when the company came out publicly against the Florida Parental Rights In Education Bill \u2014 which critics dubbed the \u201cDon\u2019t Say Gay Bill.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPeppa Pig\u201d is just one in a long line of children\u2019s shows accused of pandering to LGBTQ activists through cartoons for children.
